My family has been around campaigns for a long time. It's something you really have to be sure that you alone want to do. Because if not, if you don't want to do it, that will just blow through the surface at some point, and people can tell. And when people can tell, it's all over.

Almost all political campaigns involve falsity and playacting.

What campaigns are for is weeding out the people who, for one way or another, weren't making it for the long haul.

I think the best campaigns are campaigns of ideas and substance.

I believe that the best way to campaign is one-on-one with people.

I keep my distance from politics. Lots of money has been offered to me for campaigning over the years, and I have always refused. I used to be very politically aware and very opinionated, but I don't want to involve myself.

I have never run campaigns based on an ethnic coalition.

I never expected to be approached for an ad campaign.
